Hey Happy to do this sometime after MACNA! Thanks for thinking of me

Hells yes

THey work better when they are in your tank.

THey are pretty cool

Its been going on for over a month. At least we started seeing it around the estuary in alameda then. We have been out in the water (not where there is goo, just discolored water), and there have been no reports of people getting sick. It seems better in the last few days here. There were some...

I think that pods and amphipods and worms that make it down there do the job...detritus is converted pretty quickly to mulm and then that doesn't break down anymore.

I ask because mexican trubos eating GHA doesn't always work. There was discussion years ago about there being different snails being called mexican trubo and only the right on would eat GHA. My gut says that it is likely individual snail preference rather than a species or local difference.

Can you post a pic of the sail you are talking about so we are all on the same page? Thanks!

It can rare to find something that will eat algae that mature - it needs to be cropped down. I would get a hang on tank filter, or a canister filter, then scub the rocks in place with a tooth brush, and catch as much as you can with a net for removal, and let the filter filter much of the rest...

Oz is one of the best managed and sustainable coral collection areas. :D

Eradication, or pre prevention, of stuff is really hard. Three days is not enough. To be effective you likely need several tanks to transfer animals to, for at least several weeks each. I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze, and mors people that qt for stuff like this don't squeeze...

Many of them do to a point. If you are looking for something to actually keep things clean, you are going to be dissapointed!

You restarted and unplugged and put it all back? Have you started a support ticket.

When you order the swap out, this is made clear. :D

I filled a 20# cylinder on 8/5 at Airgas and it was 47 dollars. Tank swap out. There have been roumors of CO2 supply chain issues, so maybe prices are going up. 4445 Oakport St Oakland, CA 94601 (510) 533-9353

Don't try to inject kalk - it is a pita and if you miss the nem shriks up and vanishes. Mix up kalk with fresh water (ior use f aiptasia) so it is the consistency of tooth paste. Turn off your pumps. Using a syringe with no needle, smother the aips with the paste, covering them completely...

I am not robert, but the break seems to come between 100 and 300 gallons.

Most new tanks are not 'large' and dosing is an affordable way to keep up one smaller tanks without the extra foot print of a reactor and co2 bottle. Mostly though, I think there is a recent push for bottled solutions to reef needs - they seem easier. Neither way is better or easier, just...

A day isn't enough time. I want to know a week out. The pressure switch and the pH alarm are fine, but will only give an alert a day or two before the tank is bone dry. Looking like a scale is the way most folks go, without automation. I like the floating idea, but I don't like the extra work...

Bummer. If you are going to do this right, qt every fish that comes in to you in the future, no matter where you get it. I think the idea of getting a disease from a coral or a rock is a one in a million deal, so I wouldn't bother qt that stuff for fish disease. Because I know you worry, you...
